Ranked by the people who own them

Not by ad budgets, and not by store reviews that can be bought. Scores blend what Reddit, YouTube and reviewers keep saying with votes from owners here. Tap any robot to vote.

How the ranking works

Every robot is scored on the same six areas, each rated out of 10. An area starts at 6.5, the mark for a competent modern robot. Each pro that keeps coming up in reviews raises it and each con lowers it, by more if nearly everyone says it. The areas are then weighted into a score out of 100, so a robot that fails at the basics lands in the 20s or lower and one with no real faults can reach 100.

Owners here vote each pro and con up or down, which strengthens or weakens it. They also say whether they would buy the robot again. Those votes start with a small say and earn more as they come in, up to half the score, so a handful of votes cannot swing a ranking. Our own score is shown separately and never changes it.
